To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 422 Eavesdropping

   Dowry list?

   Yang's dull expression changed slightly.

  When Princess Huayang married to the Marquis Mansion in Changchun, the front of the wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Marquis Mansion, and the tail of the team hadn’t entered the city yet.

  At that time, she was standing in the crowd watching the noble and beautiful princess married her long-admired cousin. She could only hide her tears in her heart and dared not let anyone see them.

  Later, she became the hostess of the Hou Mansion, and finally had the opportunity to see the thick dowry list.

  At that moment, what she felt first was not joy, but sourness.

  She is a helpless cousin who lives in the Hou's mansion, and the other party is a high-ranking princess. In those few years, in the quiet preference of her aunt and in the gentle eyes cast quietly by her cousin, she often made her forget the gap between the two.

  She thought that the other party was no better than herself, but she just had a good background.

  This dowry list made a merciless mockery of her ignorance.

  Birthplace, that was a gap that she could not overcome in her entire life.

   And then, it's fun.

  So what if she is so high and insurmountable, now even the dowry list has fallen into her hands, and those dowries brought from the distant Zhennan Palace are not enjoyed by her and her children in the end.

  The seat of Changchun Hou Shizi belongs to Nan'er, and the inexhaustible gold, silver and jewelry can't be cheap for the pair of children left by Princess Huayang.

  After years of flattery, my cousin finally drove Xu Qi out of the house.

  She did it, if she hadn't gotten into that mad dog-like girl Luo for no reason, she would be so happy now...

  Mr. Yang knows better than anyone how rich the dowry brought by Princess Huayang is, and therefore, when she heard Xu Fang making a fuss about the dowry, her heart sank suddenly.

   "Do you still have an impression of how much dowry the one in front brought?"

  The gatekeeper woman tsk-tsk: "I'm so impressed. At that time, I looked at the dowries in the Hou's mansion and thought, Zhennan Wang's mansion is not marrying a daughter, it's just moving a golden mountain."

"Yes, but now everyone knows what the Hou Mansion is like. How much can the eldest girl take away when she leaves the pavilion? Not to mention too much, I am afraid that even if the Hou Mansion is emptied, it will not be able to fill up half of the holes..." Sister-in-law Xi seemed to have opened up the conversation, "There are two copies of the dowry list. One is kept at the mother's house, and the other is brought to the in-law's house. The eldest aunt was young when she went there. I got everything from Miss Luo..."

   Yang's eyes tightened.

  Miss Luo, it's Miss Luo again!

  This **** really lingers.

  The gatekeeper woman was obviously excited by the big gossip: "My God, if Hou Ye really makes up according to the dowry list, it won't be enough to sell the whole of the Hou mansion, right?"

   No wonder the money sent was so little.

   Ordinarily, she shouldn't be excited by the gossip, after all, it's not good for her if the Hou Mansion is unlucky.

   But that is something to be considered after listening to gossip. When listening to gossip, one should have the attitude of listening to gossip.

  Besides, she has gained a lot of money recently. If there is something in the Hou's mansion in the future, it will not affect her, a woman who takes care of the next wife. With this money, she will have it for the rest of her life.

  The gatekeeper woman listened to the gossip with confidence.

"That's definitely not enough!" Xu Xi's sister-in-law raised her voice unconsciously because she sighed, "Our Marquis Mansion is in an embarrassing situation because of the relationship with the person in front of us, so there is no big gain. What do you think you rely on for all these years of good clothes and good food? "

  The gatekeeper woman laughed knowingly.

   By what? It depends on the dowry of Princess Huayang, otherwise rely on the Yang family who used to eat, drink and chew in the Hou Mansion when she was a girl?

"If the aunt is not willing to let go, the Marquis will have to fill in this hole. After all, that's what the law stipulates. Although the law is mostly a decoration, but now the aunt is out of the cabinet, with the support of her husband's family and the Ningguo government, the law But it’s not a decoration. It’s because my aunt was lucky enough to get the dowry list, otherwise there’s nothing she can do if she has someone to back her up…”

  The gatekeeper woman was a little anxious: "Oh, sister-in-law Xi, please tell me the result of this matter."

  Sister-in-law Xi lowered her voice: "I heard it secretly, you can't tell it."

  The gatekeeper woman nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, who am I to tell, I just guard that one person."

  Sister-in-law Xi glanced in the direction of the main room.

  Mr. Yang, who was hiding behind the tree, was tense all over, not daring to breathe.

   She has been confused these days, but at this moment she is sober.

  Perhaps it is the nature of being a mother. When the great interests of her children are involved, she has to be sober.

   "The eldest aunt said, let the eldest son return to the clan and invite the crown prince, and send the second and third sons back to their hometown. The second girl's future marriage will be decided by her, and she will not care about the dowry."

  The gatekeeper woman couldn't help exclaiming: "Can Lord Hou agree to such an outrageous thing?"

   Behind the tree, Yang's face was pale, like a ghost.

  Sister-in-law Xi chuckled: "Why can't you agree?"

  The doorkeeper woman still couldn't believe it: "The eldest son has been expelled from the house, and it's all right to return to the clan. Please seal the nobleman above the royal family, it is impossible to agree?"

   "It's changed from one time to another, and the crown prince has been deposed. How can you know if the nobleman's attitude towards the eldest son's ancestral family has changed?"

   "That's right... But that's all. Sending the second and third sons back to their hometown, and the second girl's marriage is decided by the eldest aunt. Doesn't this mean... destroying these three, can Hou Ye agree?"

   "Earlier, the eldest aunt and grandma were not engaged until the eldest and the youngest, and the eldest son was directly expelled from the house. Didn't the Hou care about it?" Sister-in-law Xi's tone was full of emotion, "What's the difference?"

  Men, after all, you only care about yourself.

   "Then Hou Ye agreed?"

  Gossip has heard the end, and the result must be known.

  Yang, who was hiding behind a tree, wanted to know even more.

  The long nails scratched the rough old bark and ruined the tender nails.

  Mr. Yang didn't care at all, and couldn't feel the pain.

  All she cares about is the result.

  Cousin really wants to ruin her three children as Sister-in-law Xi said?

   Nan’er and the others are so outstanding, they are far incomparable to Xu Xi’s kind of mud, how can my cousin be willing to—

   "Agreed, when I came, Master Hou was instructing the steward to go to the ethnology school to pick up the two young masters. My aunt was sitting in the hall, and she said that she had to watch the two young masters be sent away with her own eyes—"

  Mr. Yang seemed to be slashed in the center by a sharp sword, cutting off the last trace of luck.

Yes, how can you be reluctant? After smothering Princess Huayang to death, my cousin was seen by Xu Fang because of his suspicions, and even tried to kill his young daughter. He just sent his sons away and made his daughter random What is it?

  The only thing my cousin is reluctant to do is himself.

  She is going to fight this vicious and ruthless man!

  Mr. Yang quickly rushed to the gate of the courtyard.
